For quite a while I was using the old PHPAdsNew ad serving platform. Recently I saw that there was an upgrade to OpenX. I like to be on top of security upgrades so I bit the bullet and upgraded. I had a number of issues with the upgrade and ultimately chose to just wipe everything and start from scratch. After having run the platform for something like to months I’m sad to say that the new product is more steps back than forward. Two of the main issues I have with the platform. (which others have reported)
- Runs in GMT time zone and jacks up the time zone for my CMS when run in local mode.
- Cannot reset stats.
Unfortunately I’m now in the market for a new ad server platform. I’d like to do a local installation so there is less javascript on my pages, less interaction with a third party, etc. One of the other solutions I’ve looked into, but does not have a intuitive interface, is the Google AdManager platform. Anyone have other suggestions?
